Hi !

I have a problem with the stopword when I make a request of type  
"query\_string".

Here my index creation :

{  
"number\_of\_shards":5,  
"number\_of\_replicas":1,  
"analysis":{  
"analyzer":{  
"indexAnalyzerAc":{  
"type":"custom",  
"tokenizer":"whitespace",  
"filter":[

```
           "synonym",
           "lowercase",
           "asciifolding"
        ]
     },
     "searchAnalyzerAc":{
        "type":"custom",
        "tokenizer":"whitespace",
        "filter":[

           "synonym",
           "lowercase",
           "asciifolding"
        ]
     },
     "indexAnalyzerProd":{
        "type":"custom",
        "tokenizer":"whitespace",
        "filter":[

           "synonym",
           "lowercase",
           "asciifolding"
        ]
     },
     "searchAnalyzerProd":{
        "type":"custom",
        "tokenizer":"whitespace",
        "filter":[
           "synonym",
           "lowercase",
           "asciifolding",
                          "mystop"
        ]
     }
  },
  "filter":{
     "synonym":{
        "type":"synonym",
        "synonyms_path":"\/etc\/elasticsearch\/synonym.txt"
     },
     "mystop":{
        "type":"stop",
        "stopwords":[
           "_french_"
        ],
        "ignore_case":"true"
     }
  }

```

}  
}

And Here my Query :

{  
"query":{  
"query\_string":{  
"query":"robes en rouge",  
"default\_field":"\_all",  
"default\_operator":"and",  
"fields":[  
"\_all^1.0",  
"matiere^1",  
"tailles.nom1",  
"couleurs^1",  
"description^1",  
"ref\_mark^1",  
"libelle^1",  
"marque^1",  
"scat^2",  
"cat^3",  
"genre^1"  
]  
}  
}  
}

The problem is when I search "robes en rouge ", "en" being a stopword, if  
the filter is activated, the search returns any results to me, by cons, if  
the filter is disabled, I have 135 results.  
If I make the search "robes rouge" I have 175 results, the aim being to  
have the same number of result when searching "robe en rouge". But i have 0  
résult ☹

may be that the stop word filter is not activated with this type of request?

Can you help me ?

Thanks.

I just found the solution thanks to a french group of Elasticsearch!

In fact, if I explicitly set my analyzer when I make the request, good  
analyzer is considered and the application works.

It works for my request is as follows:

{  
"query":{  
"query\_string":{  
"query":"robes en rouge",  
"default\_field":"\_all",  
"default\_operator":"and",  
"analyzer" : "searchAnalyzerProd"  
"fields":[  
"\_all^1.0",  
"matiere^1",  
"tailles.nom1",  
"couleurs^1",  
"description^1",  
"ref\_mark^1",  
"libelle^1",  
"marque^1",  
"scat^2",  
"cat^3",  
"genre^1"  
]  
}  
}  
}

Thank to Benjamin Levient for his help !
